Sponsor a child in Asia and save a childhood.

We're sorry, none of our children match your search at the moment.
Maybe you'd like to sponsor one of the children below instead? Alternatively, you can try a different search or call our Supporter Care team on 01908 84 10 10 who can help you with your original search.

By searching orphans you will only see children who have lost one or more parents (this definition contrasts with
concepts of orphan in many industrialized countries, where a child must have lost both parents to qualify as an
orphan. UNICEF and numerous international organizations adopted the broader definition of orphan).

My birthday is on the 23rd October and I have 1 brother and 1 sister. My favourite game is playing with toy cars. In Soutr Nikom life is hard for children like me. But sponsor me today and you can change my world for good.

For children like Ravith, growing up in Soutr Nikom, malnutrition and waterborne diseases are everyday realities. Mothers aren't encouraged to breastfeed and miss out on life-saving pregnancy advice. Children struggle at school due to lack of teacher training, and often drop out.

Children get sick from drinking dirty water.

Children struggle to learn in school, as teachers are poorly trained.

Mothers don't get health care when pregnant and after giving birth.

How sponsorship works

When you sponsor a child for £26 a month it brings much needed change to one child… and many more. The benefits you help provide, extend to your child's family, their community and other children in need. This is because we partner, plan and work alongside local community members to help build healthy, sustainable communities for vulnerable children in the world’s hardest places.

We listen

We listen to the child's community and help to identify their main needs.

We develop

We work with the community to develop a long-term action plan.

We act

We make sure immediate needs are met, then move on to start the process of deeper, sustainable change.

We train

We train volunteers, empower local groups, and provide resources and support for the community to make changes that will last long into the future.

What will your donation actually change?

Because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, four more children benefit, too. Depending on the priority needs in your child’s community, as a sponsor you will be improving lives by providing:

Clean water

Each year children are dying from diseases caught by drinking dirty water. World Vision is reaching one new person with clean water every 10 seconds and brings clean water to three more schools every day.

Healthcare

We save lives by training volunteer health care assistants, bringing vaccination programmes, and working with families to help protect their children from infection and disease ensuring the most vulnerable have access to healthcare services.

Food

We deliver nutrition programmes and farmers' schools, teaching new techniques to grow stronger crops, protect the soil and grow kitchen gardens - helping families feed their children and saving millions of lives around the world.

Education

Education can transform a child’s life. We’re improving basic literacy and numeracy and working alongside communities to help them better understand their children's rights, and raise their voices to protect and provide for their children.

Family income

We provide training in new skills, and support mothers to start their own businesses helping provide a stable income so children and families can have better nutrition, healthcare and greater access to education.

Create lasting change

When you sponsor a child, you transform their life by helping to create lasting changes for their entire community

We work with whole communities to understand what they need.

We then work together to plan and deliver the changes that will make life better for them and their children - now and always.

Why choose World Vision?

We are the world’s largest international children’s charity, working to bring real hope to millions of children in the world’s hardest places.
